    3G Sidekick LX 2009 Edition Spotted

    This comes with a big rumor tag, but a Hiptop3 reader claims that she spotted details on a 3G / GPS enabled Sidekick LX while doing a smartphone survey on Quizpoints.

    The specs listed in the photo are as follows:

    Social Networking Suite of Apps
    - Facebook
    - MySpace w/ video upload
    - Twitter
    - YouTube Mobile Access via browser

    GPS Location Based Search
    - Turn by Turn Navigation
    - Microsoft Live Local Search and Maps

    Content Creation
    - Blog publishing, editing, and management client
    - Photobucket Upload and Management
    - Video recorder and upload to MySpace/Photobucket

    Communications
    - Signature Sidekick IM/SMS/E-mail Experience
    - Microsoft Outlook/Exchange synchronization

    Hardware
    - Large (3.2 inch WVGA) screen with sharp 854×480 resolution
    - Thin design
    - 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and video recording
    - Large QWERTY keyboard
    - Expandable memory up to 8GB via MicroSD

    It could be a real product, it could be simple market research or it could be nothing at all, but if it's true the 3G , GPS and YouTube mobile access upgrades will be welcomed by Sidekick fans with open arms. [Hiptop3]
